Minneapolis, MN – Technical deathcore juggernauts Reaping Asmodeia are back with a venomous new offering, “Sanctuary of Poison,” out now via Blood Blast Distribution. The single marks the second in a trilogy of releases the band has meticulously crafted, following their punishing previous track, “Shattered Leviathan.”

Produced by the band themselves and brought to sonic life by a stellar production team—including Adam Tucker (drum engineering at Signaturetone Recording), Mike Byrne (bass engineering at Transient Audio), and Daniel Koppy (vocal production and engineering)—the single was mixed and mastered by Zack Ohren at Castle Ultimate (Suffocation, All Shall Perish).

“Sanctuary of Poison was written from a different perspective within the band,” says drummer Daniel Koppy. “Not only was it conceptualized to be a counterpoint to our previous single, but we wanted to explore a darker and more groove-oriented sonic element by utilizing the 9-string register more heavily, all while staying true to our technical roots.”

The single follows a period of reinvigoration for Reaping Asmodeia. After their acclaimed 2021 release Darkened Infinity (Prosthetic Records)—which saw them share the stage with genre giants like Born of Osiris, Cryptopsy, Abysmal Dawn, Origin, and Signs of the Swarm—2024 brought a renewed spark. With the return of original bassist Jakub Kingery and the addition of new lead vocalist Eric Keyes, the band steps into a bold new era.

“We are thrilled to welcome Eric Keyes as the vocalist of Reaping Asmodeia,” adds Koppy. “Eric has been a longtime friend and a staple in the Minnesota metal scene. For those who’ve caught our recent shows, the on-stage chemistry is undeniable. With Eric and Jakub onboard, the energy is electric and the creativity is flowing freely.”

Accompanied by a visually gripping music video, “Sanctuary of Poison” offers a deeper dive into Reaping Asmodeia’s evolving sound—more dynamic, more melodic, and just as unrelenting.

“Sanctuary of Poison” is out now on all streaming platforms. Brace yourself for a fresh wave of technical brutality:
